I like Duracoat a lot. If you have a compressor, get a little hobby air brush sprayer. I have bought stencils from Duracoat, printed some online and cut some from masking tape. The stencils from Duracoat are pretty sticky. I chose a difficult digital camo pattern for an AR. Looks great, but...

My biggest fear is that my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them. Not my quote, but a good one.

Cape Buffalo 7 yards. Just happened on him in tall grass. Big nasty Boar, friends pushed him to me and it was about 3 yards, full run. Didn’t even need the scope, just swung on him like a shotgun with a 300 blk subsonic 240 grain. Hit him in the neck (I was just trying to hit him in the pig at...

It’s tough to beat 39.5 gr IMR 3031 for any 165 gr bullet. I had a friend tell me “Don’t even bother working up a load. It just shoots great in every 308 I have ever shot.” So, I tried it. He was right. It shoots insanely well in both gas and bolt action guns. First time I ever just took...

It truly is a gift!

Unless you almost died, most hunting stories are boring. I'm not a great storyteller. Yes, I have found myself trying to share the excitement of a routine hunt with others. I'm aware it's nothing like what I experienced. So, I'll keep them brief and try not to abuse your ear hole with my...

I have 3. They are great guns. You can’t beat that quality for the money.

No, I too have seen Whitetail stand there after a shot. Red Deer, Aoudad and Antelope too. All supersonic. The deer in my profile was a free range deer. The dozen does around him jumped, then went right back to eating. Last month, I was hunting Aoudad in W Texas. (Not me shooting) Three...

Thats a good point. Tone is an often overlooked component of suppression.

I usually keep about 10 wraps of electric tape around the barrel, close to the muzzle. Pull off a long strip, put it over the muzzle or can opening, wrapping it down on the can or muzzle (if no can) and another strip goes around that to secure it. If you shoot multiple times, that tape around...

Get a shorter rifle. There really is no need to remove it, it’s worth dealing with it, over going without. Game reacts differently to a shot w a can. I dropped my rangefinder on an Antelope stalk and overestimated the distance and shot over him … twice. That buck stuck around after me...

AAC and Remington did a Mod 7 collaboration,10 years or so ago. I picked one up on an impulse buy. I wasn’t expecting much, wasn’t sure I’d ever use it. I found a camo McMillan on sale and one of my favorite guns was born. Throw a Leupold VX-R 1.25-4 on it, with a Silencerco Omega on it...

I have had great luck w H110 with 220 and 240’s and 4227 with 190’s. I never changed a thing on my lowers. Just shot them with a standard H2 buffer.

Yes. Even shooting 190 Nos CCs, it will exit a broadside pig and kill the pig next to it. I have done it successfully 3 times. Other times, couldn’t confirm a 2nd kill. They made some 240 gr SMKs for a while, can’t find them now. I bought 1200 of them. They are just as deadly As a 190.

Yeah, that sounds like a good time. But, I fear our relationship with Russia may be strained beyond repair for quite a while.
